Outstanding

Iris Johansen does it again. After finding Bonnie, I wondered where she was going to go with Eve and Joe and didn’t see how she could make it interesting. But she absolutely wrote another great thriller. I would definitely recommend this book. It was interesting, well written and kept the reader wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed meeting new characters as well as having some of her previous ones’ lives expanded. Can’t wait for her next book.

Don't waste your time

The story line was so horrible and the narrator made the characters even more boring. After following these characters through the series of books it was really hard for me to accept that she made Eve this stupid. I didn't even finish listening to it, by part two I was hoping the killer would get all of them. It was a lot of whining, angry, people doing stupid things. Don't waste your time on this snoozer.

Couldn’t get past the narrator

I know we have gone through a number of narrator switches over time but I’ve liked them all. This new one is awful. She it terrible as doing accents and male voices. Her female voice grates on me. She makes Eve sound like she lacks depth. I was devastated to see that te rest of the books are narrated by her. I have a little one so audiobooks are easier than paperbacks. I’m torn between quitting the series altogether and suffering through the rest. It’s miserable.

Too much inner dialog

Story was great but too much inner dialog about ‘do I like her’ yes I do, no I don’t … read like a romance novel for teens.

Amateurish Writing

I was surprised that such a renown author would produce such amateurish work. Where do I begin?

Conversations between characters were unrealistic: everyone always automatically ‘knew’ what the other person was thinking without any real rationale and the other person would always confirm that they were correct. All of the “good” characters had the same personalities: defensive, rude & exaggerated versions of themselves. They all used the same speech patterns and phrases. All of the “bad” characters were similarly the same: unprovoked demeaning and threatening, all the time, regardless of their level of power in the food chain.

Characters (good and bad) all ‘confessed’ too easily. The ending was weak, stretching credulity.

In short, one would expect this level of work from a junior or senior high school writing class. The narration was nothing to write home about but in her defense, she really didn’t have much to work with.
